How to Write a Reply (Acceptance)
Hi David,
What a great idea! I really like Ms. Steen a lot. She helped me to improve my English so much. I’m sad to see her go, and this party is the best way to say “Thank you and goodbye.” I can help to buy some of the food and drinks. I can also help to bring Ms. Steen to the party. I already have a great idea about how to do that.

Hi David,
Thanks so much for planning this. I’d love to come to the party, but I’m not available. My family is taking a trip to Wuhan at the end of this month to visit my aunt and uncle. However, I’d still be glad to help out with any of the party preparations, like planning the games. Let me know if you need my help.

Dear Headmaster:
Thanks so much for inviting. I’d love to go to the opening party, but I’m not available. I have an important meeting in Beijing this weekend. I’ll think of some words and give them to my child. Then, I’ll visit the school another time next week.
